This week of Summer Camp is all about woodworking. Children will learn about the safe use of hand tools as well as the properties of wood. Along the way, we’ll make fun and functional projects the children can later take home, including a group project that fosters teamwork, collaboration, and creative problem solving. This camp is recommended for school-age children 6yrs and up. Projects and depth of skill exploration are matched up to the children’s age/ability. What to bring: A sun hat or sunscreen if your child is sensitive to sun. It’s best to dress in layers. We will be outdoors. Children need closed-toe shoes and long hair tied back. Bring a refillable water bottle and a snack. If there is a camp ending as ours begins and you need your child transferred, let us know! If you’d like your camper to stay during the lunch hour, there’s a $20 fee for the week to cover the lunchtime gap. They can bring a lunch and have lunch with us with the option to do a fun craft after lunch. • Scholarships available • Military and sibling discounts

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “The Lost Cuisines of California,” featuring Richard Foss, at 10:30 am February 19, at the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Blvd. Foss will address the question of why none of the cooking techniques or popular dishes of the first people of the California or Mission people survive, and how did the introduction of agriculture change their lives? What delicacies did the pleasure-loving Dons enjoy in their haciendas, and why did their cuisine die out so quickly after the USA annexed the territory? Richard Foss has been writing professionally since 1986, when he started reviewing restaurants for a Los Angeles newspaper. He has contributed to more than forty different publications, taught “500 Years of American Food” and “America Fermented” at Osher Institute/UCLA Extension, and is on the board of Culinary Historians of Southern California. His book on the history of rum was published in 2012. “Food in the Air and Space” was released in December 2014. He is now working on a history of immigrant cuisines in California in conjunction with a museum exhibit he is curated titled “Cooking Up a New West,” which will open at he Autry Museum of the American West in 2023.
